What interests Dan?

In short, I am interested in any question that has “beef” in it.

Cattle Types

  • I have a lot of experience with traditional, “native”, beef cattle breeds.

  • I also have much experience with beef production from Holstein steers, and have an interest in beef production from culled dairy cows.

  • The beef-on-dairy production system is a natural blending of the native and Holstein production systems, for which my background is well-suited.

Which stages of production?

  • Cow-calf

  • Stocker

  • Finishing, or Feedlot

  • Harvest

  • Carcass composition

  • Fresh beef merchandising
